Frankfurt fire five past Leverkusen after falling behind

Sow crowned a spectacular turnaround with a stunning second-half finish to score his third goal in four games for Frankfurt. The 24-year-old had only scored once in his previous 87 appearances for Frankfurt, who are charging up the table after a recent return to form. "I'm happy that I can finally help my team by scoring goals as well. It was a great game, and we could have scored seven today," Sow told DAZN.

Oliver Glasner's side are now just two points adrift of the European spots, while Leverkusen stay in third, but slip four points behind Borussia Dortmund. Patrik Schick gave Leverkusen the lead with a sharp finish on five minutes and doubled the lead from the penalty spot midway through the first half.

Frankfurt battled their way back into the game with two quick goals before the half-hour mark. Brazilian defender Tuta pulled a goal back from a corner, before Jesper Lindstrom equalised with a superb first-time finish after a stunning through-ball assist from Sow.

French defender Evan N'Dicka smashed the ball in at a Frankfurt corner to complete the turnaround shortly after half-time. Frankfurt continued to dominate in the second half, and Kristijan Jakic gave them a deserved fourth goal with an impressive half-volley on 66 minutes.

Sow made it 5-2 ten minutes later, curling the ball into top corner with a breathtaking long-range finish.
